Pay it forward with Google One Today

Google One Today

A not so subtle attempt at simultaneously giving and growing the GOOG.

Google One Today

As if Google was not already enough a part of your life, now Google lets you be generous and choose someone to give funds to, for them to pick a charity to donate the funds to.

Check out Google One Today for more details.
Seems kind of like a nice viral marketing gimmick. After all, why not just let you donate the charity of your own choice directly? Why pass it on through someone else? What's the point of that?

The answer to that is pure, simple marketing. By passing it on to someone, you're feeding the google with more data about you and the people you know.

About Me

Oh, I should probably mention, I don't like seeing abuse against crawfish, and my first jellyfish lived over 100 hours in a home-made rescue tank before succumbing to Mother Nature and Father Time.

On that note, it's worth noting that I've had dinner with both of those folks, and they are always so nice and friendly, even if they are complete brutes with no respect for anyone else's schedule or plans.
